Cyto- and myeloarchitectural brain atlas of the pale spear-nosed bat (Phyllostomus discolor) in CT Aided Stereotaxic Coordinates [PDF]
Brain Structure and Function, 2020 AbstractThe pale spear-nosed bat Phyllostomus discolor, a microchiropteran bat, is well established as an animal model for research on the auditory system, echolocation and social communication of species-specific vocalizations. We have created a brain atlas of Phyllostomus discolor that provides high-quality histological material for identification of

Echolocation calls and communication calls are controlled differentially in the brainstem of the bat
BMC Biology, 2005 Background Echolocating bats emit vocalizations that can be classified either as echolocation calls or communication calls. Neural control of both types of calls must govern the same pool of motoneurons responsible for vocalizations.

Vocal production learning in the pale spear-nosed bat, Phyllostomus discolor. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2020 Vocal production learning (VPL), or the ability to modify vocalizations through the imitation of sounds, is a rare trait in the animal kingdom. While humans are exceptional vocal learners, few other mammalian species share this trait. Owing to their singular ecology and lifestyle, bats are highly specialized for the precise emission and reception of ...

Expanded diversity of novel hemoplasmas in rare and undersampled Neotropical bats [PDF]
One Health, 2023 Hemotropic mycoplasmas are emerging as a model system for studying bacterial pathogens in bats, but taxonomic coverage of sampled host species remains biased. We leveraged a long-term field study in Belize to uncover novel hemoplasma diversity in bats by

Genome-Wide Identification of MicroRNAs and Immune-Related Proteins Provides Insights into Antiviral Adaptations in Common Vampire Bat [PDF]
AnimalsBats are natural reservoirs for diverse viruses, yet they rarely develop disease, suggesting unique antiviral adaptations. In this study, we performed a comprehensive genome-wide analysis in the common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus), integrating ...

Landscape of IGH germline genes of Chiroptera and the pattern of Rhinolophus affinis bat IGH CDR3 repertoire [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumThe emergence and re-emergence of abundant viruses from bats that impact human and animal health have resulted in a resurgence of interest in bat immunology. Characterizing the immune receptor repertoire is critical to understanding how bats coexist with
